More than right years after unleashing an uber-cool Gopichand with his maiden film Jil, filmmaker Radha Krishna Kumar is set to join forces with the same actor again for his third film. Sources tell us exclusively that Radha has impressed the macho actor with an action-drama again, and it will roll sometime early next year.

A source close to the development confirms to us again, “Gopi took a strong liking to Radha’s story in the first narration itself. Like Jil, which was something new for Gopichand in terms of characterization, this new film will be a departure from the kind of films the actor is doing of late. Set in present times, it is based on a civil war and is the story of a villain. Radha is planning to present Gopi in a completely new light, again!”

The source adds, “UV Creations, which has bankrolled Radha’s earlier two films, including the misfire Radhe Shyam, will be shepherding this venture as well. It will be the most expensive film of Gopi’s career. With Radhe Shyam’s failure, one would’ve expected UV to be a little wary on the budget but they are going all out once again, keeping their faith in the story and Radha’s abilities. The principal photography of the film, as of now, is likely to begin in March next year.”
